That was cool! I thought he was never going to catch that Honda Accord. I am assuming this RX-8 has about 300HP.

I am a little rusty with my Japanese.



Very neat! Thanks!

Man that thing turns!! I wonder just how much better it handles than stock. It was able to hold the inside line on when the accord had to swing wide out of the curve.



With a little better drive the 8 would've passed a couple laps b4.



Very entertaining video tho!!!

Should have the video up from the latest BestMotoring DVD in a few days which features the Mazdaspeed RX-8 ...

Well not had any problems yet. Was only winding you up anyway



If you want to grab it and host it too, thats fine by me. But should be ok for the time being! It was only a temporary link though since its a load of webspace that I've yet to do anything with. So it may move once I start building my website. But that'll probably be months off yet, knowing me!
